Objective: Comorbidities between internalizing disorders (IDs) and functional disorders (FDs) are well-documented, indicating shared pathways. However, their symptom-level relationships have been largely unexplored. This exploratory study employs a network approach to investigate symptoms of...

Abstract
Introduction:
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic fluctuating, nociplastic pain condition. Naltrexone is a µ-opioid-receptor antagonist; preliminary studies have indicated a pain-relieving effect of low-dose naltrexone (LDN) in patients with FM. The impetus for studying LDN is the...
Abstract
Background: New-onset chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain (> 3 months duration) is one of the commonest persistent symptoms of Post-COVID syndrome (PCS). There is emerging evidence that the chronic MSK pain and associated symptoms in PCS have similarities to Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)...
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
The pathogenesis of fibromyalgia (FM), characterised by chronic widespread pain and fatigue, remains notoriously elusive, hampering attempts to develop disease modifying treatments. Mitochondria are the headquarters of cellular energy metabolism, and their malfunction has...
Pain and the biochemistry of fibromyalgia: patterns of peripheral cytokines and chemokines contribute to the differentiation between fibromyalgia and controls and are associated with pain, fat infiltration and content

In this pilot study, a human intravenous injection of low-dose endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) model was used to test if fibromyalgia is associated with altered immune responses to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation.
Eight women with moderately-severe fibromyalgia and eight healthy...

Fibromyalgia is a debilitating pain condition for which treatment effects are typically modest. The most evaluated psychological treatment is traditional cognitive behavior therapy (T-CBT), but promising effects have recently been seen in exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy (Exp-CBT).

Abstract
Long COVID (LC) is a multisymptom clinical syndrome with similarities to Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). All these conditions are believed to be associated with centrally driven mechanisms such as central sensitisation. There...
Long COVID: a new word for naming fibromyalgia?
Xavier Mariette
Long COVID is the name given to a syndrome comprising a wide variety of symptoms persisting more than 3 months after acute benign COVID-19, with a prevalence ranging from 10 to 80%. Symptoms are very close to fibromyalgia.

Abstract
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) are chronic diseases with poorly understood pathophysiology and diagnosis based on clinical assessment of unspecific symptoms. The recent post-COVID-19 condition, which...
